Leonardo DiCaprio, Jason Bateman and Edward Norton are just a few of the actors featured in a star-studded cast of a new video to promote the “Clean Energy Jobs & American Power Act”.  The funny, viral, thought-provoking video was created by Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund; they say the bill “Will break foreign oil’s stranglehold on our country, reduce carbon pollution, and create jobs right here in America - good jobs that pay well and can’t be outsourced.” 

They’ve created a mailing page where you can send the following letter to your legislators urging them to get moving and get the job done:

President Obama’s call for comprehensive climate and energy legislation during the State of the Union speech has the support of the American people, and I urge you to support it as well. Among the reasons to support clean energy and climate legislation:

- Less dependence on fossil fuels and enhanced national security: A climate bill will cut our oil imports by 5 million barrels a day and reduce our one billion dollar-a-day imported oil habit.
-  More innovation in our economy: A strong climate bill will help America’s large and small businesses to grow again - that’s why it has the support of 80 major companies and thousands of small businesses.
- More jobs, and more sustainable jobs: A strong climate bill would create 1.9 million new clean energy jobs through investments clean and safe energy sources.
- A healthier, safer environment for future generations. 

I am counting on my senators to vocally and visibly express your support for the comprehensive climate and energy legislation that will achieve these goals and to reject proposals, like the “Dirty Air Act” proposed by Senator Murkowski (S.J. Res 26) which would undermine healthy air, clean energy and our national security.

We will be tracking the progress of this bill.  In the meantime, watch the video! And then DO SOMETHING!
